    Having done a canal holiday I can tell you it isn't a great sound when it is all you hear all day. Out in the countryside it would be nice to hear the birds and sounds of nature or even someone at the front asking you a question without having to raise their voice. However on a canal boat all you can hear is the relentless chug of a diesel engine for hour after hour. I vowed I wouldn't do another canal boat holiday until I could rent an electric powered boat. One day I hope that our canals will be free of this dreadful noise and once again return to the quiet places they would have been in the days of horse drawn barges.

    Back in the early 1980’s, I was a DJ on my college radio station in California. We used cart decks for station IDs, jingles, public service announcements and station promotional spots. The ones we had were not ITC, but a different make (I never noticed the manufacturer of them). In order to get a passing grade for being on air staff, we had to produce three promotional or PSA spots per quarter which we recorded onto carts. It was a rather tedious process to record and mix the spots on reel to reel tape, then copy to cart. We had a supply of carts in production room to choose from, so if I had found a cart that had a longer recording time, I would record my spot multiple times on a given cart so it didn’t have to fast forward so much after playing. I actually found a set of these ITC 99b decks on eBay that are in working order and even came with the connector cables between the two units. The seller even made a hardcopy of user manual and put in a nice binder for it. And, I also bought the teeshirt through Redbubble here in the US.

      Hi, sorry, I have only just seen your comment. As far as I have seen, there is no cycleway without using the road itself. The west access is a rather steep slope (steps all but eroded away) and the east is decent steps. Only the westbound walkway seems to be in use. I would say that the walkway itself is very suitable for cycles though. The path towards Felixtowe is under the bridge, then through a gate so you travel parallel to the eastbound carriageway.
